THE ABILITY TO MAKE AND UNDERSTAND PUNS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT.

 Here are the ten first place winners in the International Pun Contest:

 1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
 stewardess looks at him and says, “I’m sorry, sir, only one carrion
 allowed per passenger.”

 2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other
 and says “Dam!”

 3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in
 the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can’t
 have your kayak and heat it too.

 4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says “I’ve lost my electron.” The
 other says “Are you sure?” The first replies “Yes, I’m positive.”

 5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a
 root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

 6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were
 standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.
 After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked
 them to disperse.
 ”But why?”, they asked, as they moved off.
 ”Because,” he said,” I can’t stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.”

 7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them
 goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a
 family in Spain ; they name him “Juan. ” Years later, Juan sends a
 picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture,
 she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of
 Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan,
 you’ve seen Ahmal.”

 8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they
 opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked
 to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town
 thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to
 close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars
 to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh
 MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade”
 them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store,
 saying he’d be back if they didn’t close up shop.
 Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent
 florist friars.

 9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
 which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also
 ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet,
 he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile
 mystic hexed by halitosis.

 10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to
 friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them
 laugh. No pun in ten did.
